Chittoor district, Administrative district in Andhra Pradesh, India.
Description
Chittoor district is an administrative unit in southern Andhra Pradesh that extends across flat farmland and gentle hills. The area comprises 32 administrative units, all coordinated from the city of the same name.
History
The formation took place in 1911 when several districts from what was then North Arcot were merged with areas from Kadapa. This reorganization followed colonial administrative reforms and remained largely intact after independence.
Culture
The harvest is celebrated each year with a festival lasting several days, during which families prepare sweet rice dishes and decorate their doorsteps with colored powder patterns. Visitors can witness traditional dances in many villages, accompanied by drum music that expresses gratitude for the crops from the fields.
Practical
Major towns are linked by regular buses and trains, making travel between the larger cities straightforward. Visitors should carry cash, as smaller settlements have few automated teller machines.
Did you know?
The region leads mango harvests in the state and supplies several varieties known throughout India. During harvest time between April and June, markets fill with fresh fruit whose sweet scent drifts through the streets.
